Kao Collins launched the Nexxo line of inkjet inks for the new solvent-compatible Funai thermal inkjet ink cartridge.
According to the company, the inks offer greater opportunities for printing on new and challenging substrates with thermal inkjet technology.
“These amazing Funai cartridges opened the door for our Nexxo line of solvent inks. Now printers using CIJ systems have a TIJ alternative that requires little ongoing service, reduces VOC emissions, and prints higher-quality expiration information,” said John Herman, TIJ business manager.
The Nexxo inks print high-resolution 2D coding and increase the readability of expiration dates and lot numbers using solid alphanumerics instead of dot-matrix, according to Kao Collins.
The inks also support the increased throw distance of the cartridge, Kao Collins said.
Compared to CIJ systems for printing non-porous materials, the ink-cartridge combination reduces VOC emissions by almost 90%, according to Kao Collins.
There is virtually no downtime when using Nexxo ink in Funai cartridges, Kao Collins said, adding that Funai TIJ technology offers greater efficiency, with less downtime, maintenance, and almost no cleaning.
Kao Collins has been producing inks for Funai systems since 2009.
